Lee Labrada and Lee Haney did it. So did Dorian Yates and Rich Gaspari. They were great bodybuilders and then parlayed that success into "cash after competing" by starting a company in the industry most-closely associated with bodybuilding, Nutritional Supplements.

They obviously started competing out of drive and passion and then started their businesses as a way to stay around the industry they love so dearly. But off the top of my head, I cannot think of one competitive bodybuilder who is a supplement company owner and started bodybuilding after being in the industry for over eight years and also running a company after starting it over three years ago. Well, on October 21, 2006 in Kannapolis, NC, the trend was officially bucked.

I stepped onstage for the first time ever and took home the first-place trophy in the Men's Open Light Heavyweight division.

I made it a point to use only SciVation and PrimaForce supplements other than a multivitamin, fish oil and MRM H2O Lean the final week. It is about time a company owner put their own company's supplements, diet and training theories to the test. And put it to the test I did.

The original reason I did this was to show that anyone can step onstage and compete with proper diet, training and adherence to our Cut Diet principles.

I have an eight month old daughter, a job that requires 15+ hours per day, travel often, have a wife and very little extra time. On top of that, I just moved cross county four weeks ago! But through planning and dedication, I didn't slip up once!

To stay on track, I kept online logs and updated my pictures as time went on. I updated so consistently that I had no choice but to succeed! I kept my training and diet log on Bodybuilding.com and as a natural, there was no margin for error. I proved this at the Olympia, where I was as anal-retentive as one can get.

"You are a machine," Derek Charlebois told me. "When we went out to eat at IHOP or anywhere else, you'd take your Tupperware of Chicken and Avocado EVERYTIME. I have never seen anything like it for a whole week straight!"

The man to credit my diet and training system to is Chuck Rudolph, author of Game Over-The Final Showtime Cut Diet You'll Ever Need. Together with Derek, he worked with me to help me achieve the greatest shape of my life while holding more muscle that I ever thought possible.

"You have great genetics, no doubt, and we were able to drop fat and from what I can see, ADD muscle," Chuck told me. And add muscle I did. Stepping onstage at 181 pounds, I was noticeably more muscular than when I started.

"It is all about responding to what the athlete needs," says Chuck. "I played with some things in your diet that could never be written down or planned, such as adding grapefruit into your carb meal as well as switching to Peanut Butter and different fat sources at strategic times to gauge response. While the above diet provides a plan to get shredded, this attention to detail is something I have to do personally with the client."

Chuck had me follow the training program almost exactly as it was outlined in the above diet. Chuck adds, "At six weeks out, you followed the book exactly without any deviation. At two weeks out, we added in HIIT cardio at 30 minutes with 30 second sprints, one minute recovery, and a five minute warm up and cool down.

This was done ONLY the last two weeks to make sure the stubborn fat around your waste and glutes went away. We try not to do HIIT on the same day as weights, so we did the Game Over training program Monday through Friday and then did HIIT on Saturday and Sunday. You then did cardio preworkout for 45 minutes and trained first thing in the morning."

For morning training, I'd wake up at 4am, take our new SciVation Fat Burner prototype (coming soon) or PrimaForce Thermal Rage that got me going and then hopped on the treadmill for 45 minutes. During cardio, I would sip on 10 scoops of Xtend mixed with one scoop of Substance WPI, 10 grams of Glutaform and five grams of Creaform mixed in one gallon of water.

This is it. I would then continue drinking my Workout Nutrition during weights and finish it at the end of the workout. Then, I'd go to the office and eat meal one.
